Kidnappers hold Nnewi hostage
68 people already kidnapped
•Traders, professionals close shop, beg President Jonathan for help


Eight months after the people of the industrial town of Nnewi in Anambra State raised the alarm that armed robbers and kidnappers are holding them on the throat, they have cried out to President Goodluck Jonathan, the Inspector-General of Police and the Chief of Army Staff to come to their rescue.

In January this year, businessmen and other professionals in the commercial town christened the Japan of Africa, had lamented that kidnapping, armed robbery and general insecurity were in the upscale in the town, making many of them to flee the city.

Faced with the challenge and fear of not losing the entrepreneurs that make the city tick, the leadership of the popular Nkwo-Edo Auto Spare Parts market and the town union government (Nzuko-Ora, the Elders Council in Nnewi)) read the riot act to those who do not have any tangible means of livelihood, asking them to quit the city.

But when this could not produce the desired result, the traditional ruler of the town, Igwe Kenneth O.N Orizu, called for spiritual cleansing of the town. He staged an inter-denominational service at the St Andrew’s   Anglican Church (DCC), Nnewi where prayers, petitions and entreaties were made to God through His servants, Bishops Odili Okeke and G.I.N Okpala of the Catholic and Anglican Dioceses of Nnewi.

But eight months down the line, the people are still not satisfied as they have renewed their cry over insecurity occasioned by rising incidents of armed robbery and kidnapping, making them to now urge President Jonathan and the army chief to help by deploying soldiers to the commercial hub,

Thus on Wednesday, August 10, as early as 7a.m., traders at the popular Nkwo Nnewi Market and others from the commercial city started trooping out to the gates of the Main Market to protest incessant kidnapping, particularly targeted at them and their colleagues.
As soon as they started gathering, all activities in the town were brought to a halt. Indeed, it was a day bankers, lawyers, medical doctors, importers and other traders closed shop in the town to urge President Jonathan to save them from kidnappers, who they claimed had abducted about 68 persons from the town in recent times.

The people probably could not contain the shock some days when unknown men who are yet to let him off the hook kidnapped a frontline industrialist, Chief Emmanuel Uba.
Uba’s abductors were alleged to have demanded N70 million as ransom, a demand that was said to have infuriated the citizens of the town.

As if that was not enough, the Concerned Nnewi Stakeholders Forum (CNSF) said that fresh victims are reported missing on a daily basis.
As the town was shut down in another protest, the Chairman of Nzuko Ora Nnewi, Chief Agu Onyeka, told the large crowd that the stakeholders, traders, lawyers and medical doctors would not rest until the President and his government addressed the issue of insecurity.

Another stakeholder, Chief Gabriel Chukwuma, reminded the assembly that Nnewi market alone boasts of over 80, 000 traders and as stakeholders and elders in the commercial city, they would not fold their arms and allow the city collapse as a result of insecurity.
According to one of the concerned stakeholders, Mr. Gozie Akudolu, who is also the President of Nnewi Traders Association, “Since this kidnapping issue started, about 68 major importers and manufacturers in Nnewi have been kidnapped, and as a result over 130 major importers and manufacturers in the commercial city have relocated to the South-west or other Northern states for fear of being kidnapped.

“It is common knowledge that Nnewi is strategic to the nation’s economy, with hundreds of industrial and manufacturing companies. It is on this note that we have asked Mr. President, the Chief of Army Staff and the Inspector General of Police to come to our aid as we now live at the mercy of kidnappers and armed robbers.

“At the last count, more than 15 people died while being held by kidnappers. Over 300 persons have fallen victim in one way or the other. Presently, 10 people are still being held at different unknown locations, and efforts to rescue them continue to prove abortive, as their captors insist on impossible conditions for their release”.
Collaborating this, the Secretary of the Nigeria Bar Association, Nnewi branch, Mr. Joseph Okeke, lamented that an average of 15 people were abducted on daily basis.
“I live in this town; so, I know; kidnapping has caused a plethora of businesses to shut down here. Now, expatriates are skeptical of moving into this town. That is why we are appealing to all relevant authorities to create an anti-kidnap squad of the Nigerian Police in Anambra State,” he said.

However, the Anambra State Command through its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, claimed that only eight persons had been kidnapped in Nnewi town, saying that out of that number seven have been rescued by the police.
“We have gone to our records and discovered that in the whole of Nnewi Command, comprising 16 divisions, only 24 kidnap cases have been recorded. Out of this number, only eight persons were ever kidnapped in Nnewi as a town, and seven of these people have been released, with the exception of Mr. Emma Uba, who is still with his captors.

“Security is not the monopoly of security agents, therefore, we ask Anambrarians to furnish us with credible and verifiable information that will help us serve them better. It is part of our civic responsibility as Nigerians,” he said.
But both Akudolu and Okeke in separate interviews with Daily Sun, faulted the police claim, saying that “it is we who wear the shoes that will tell the world where it pinches.”

Thus, Akudolu insisted that from the Market’s record, nothing less than 68 people have been kidnapped from the town.
“I am not in the position to declare their statistics as false, that might be the police record. But our own record says that over 68 people have been kidnapped, that is what our own record says. But I must commend our state governor, Mr. Peter Obi for his assistance in this issue. It is sad to note that despite all he has done to equip the police in the state, we are still witnessing this type of crime surge,” the importer said.

Okeke also argued that the police have not rescued anybody from the town with the exception of one from the Orizu royal family who was released freely by his captors after ransom was paid.
“I don’t know anybody who has been rescued or released. You know the police will not tell you the truth because they want to protect their job. And people, who would ordinarily give them information, do not trust them.

But I must commend the Area Commander here and his team who have been working assiduously with us to improve our lot, and the governor of Anambra State, who has donated state-of-the-art equipment to the police. Let them sit up and protect us”, the lawyer begged.
Earlier, the CNSF had addressed an open letter dated August 9, 2011 to President Jonathan entitled, “A call to save our soul as kidnappers, armed robbers over run Nnewi”.

In the letter, the groups had demanded among others, “that the State Security Services (SSS) and other security agencies be tasked on effective intelligence gathering in and around Nnewi.
“That the rescue of those still held by kidnappers be made a national rescue project by deploying soldiers to Nnewi for the rescue of these victims.”

The commercial town of Nnewi is strategic to the economy of the country as it plays host to hundreds of industrial and manufacturing companies of international standard which altogether have over 50, 000  employees.
Nnewi equally has more than 22 banks doing business in it just as it houses the fast growing Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital and some other institutions of higher learning.

CAN MY GEJ DO THIS?


I’ll ensure uninterrupted power supply realisable before 2015 -Jonathan
From JULIANA TAIWO-OBALONYE, Abuja
Wednesday, August 17, 2011





President Goodluck Jonathan has said that his administration remains fully committed to the attainment of uninterrupted power supply in Nigeria before the end of its tenure in 2015.
Speaking at a forum with members of the board of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company led by Vice President Namadi Sambo, he said that the Federal Government was constantly mindful of the critical importance of steady power supply for national development, and would, therefore, do everything possible to ensure that all its plans and projects to guarantee stable power supply are successfully implemented.

“We all know the importance of power. We look forward to a time when Nigerians can enjoy uninterrupted power supply from the beginning to the end of a year and we are working hard to ensure that that objective is attained within the life-span of this administration,” President Jonathan said.

He urged members of the board and management of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company to ensure that the company, which was established to oversee the implementation of National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP) funded by the three tiers of government in the country, contributes very effectively to meeting the country’s power supply needs.
Vice President Sambo who chairs the board of the company assured President Jonathan that it will deliver all the medium-sized gas-fired NIPP power generating stations, as well as associated transmission projects on schedule to ensure that the administration’s promise of steady power supply is fulfilled.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, governors of Benue, Delta and Ekiti states, as well as ministers of Power, Petroleum, and Justice were present at the meeting.

duke4ever:
I want to ask: can a 2.2 still be a product for the classroom(as in lecture - be a lecturer)? If yes, how can it be achieved?

Yes you can, but you wud do your MSC then enrol For Phd before being admitted. Though with an MSC you may be considered and offered further admission in some uni. UNI DIFFERENT FROM UNI BUT NA SAME NUC GUIDELINE DEY APPLICABLE

whirlweend:
The way some people on this thread are lambasting & disparaging 1st cl & 2.1 holders is really sad.It shows deep rooted envy.If u couldn't make the grade at uni,whose fault?.Some people may have 'bought' their 1st cl or 2.1 but it has to be in the minority.NNPC is just making excuses in order to bring in politician's candidates wit their 3rd class degrees.This same 1st cl & 2.1 holders are getting into chevron,mobil,schlum,shell,totalfina and the likes where world standard tests & interviews are performed before entry & doing well in their chosen field let alone NNPC test #hiss.I did NNPC test years ago & i just laughed when i wasnt invited for the interview.I thank God today i wasnt invited.I am proud of what i left school with,i worked VERY HARD for it and can defend it anytime,anyday. the likes where world standard tests & interviews are performed before entry & doing well in their chosen field let alone NNPC test #hiss.I did NNPC test years ago & i just laughed when i wasnt invited for the interview.I thank God today i wasnt invited.I am proud of what i left school with,i worked VERY HARD for it and can defend it anytime,anyday.

In every topic try to see the point in the pointless post of others .thats all i will say to you now cos of my disposition.

For your info! i am an academic material and a lecturer too .so it is not just i talking but little experience.

Gotta go now. Have a lil class by 2. 45 pm

Cheers!!

Da Doctor,
I have worked offshore and in the office an an Engineer for some years and believe I have some experience to make comment on this matter. At graduation myself and several of my friends  passed kpmg, pwc, all d bank test i wrote, p&g, orwell, shell, chevron aptitude test, Baker Hughes test, Transocean test and some i cant remember so tell me wetin NNPC wan bring wey dey different? If he has said interview that requires soft skills, I will understand but definitely not test as expressed here. NNPC need to remove all the unqualified people in their rank and file before they talk bad about Nigerian graduates cos I have met alot of NNPC/ DPR engineers on assignments in the operating companies that dont know anything about operation and they are supposed to be incharge of projects as a government rep and claim to have 10-15yrs experience.

Dont let us go technical bro! Its like we have some things in common though i am in the academic field.

See bros, i agree with you, but be assured that not all can do same especially when it is not same school and dept.

I called back one of my students from CHEVRON About 7 years ago. He was a first class material and needed for class work when we were short of one. I cudnt have done that if he was not good.

I my self is consultant to some of your named firms!

u understand me? And we cant give away the fact that most of the DPR guys are govt nominness abut there are still specialist therein.

Bottom line is this. Not all the 1st class and 2.1 can defend their degree!

Hope we are on same page now?

I have got little knowledge of goephysics and reservoir engineering, and well site operations and seismology too to mention but a few but i sure have my specialty /core area. Nice meeting you

But dont quote me. i am academician core!

2good:
Da Doctor,
I agree with the English deficiency you pointed out which is because of their disadvantaged past that cannot be erased but the issue here is NNPC aptitude test, so dont deviate from the topic. Also if you have worked in a multinational, you would have noticed that many of these so call experts find it very very difficult to converse in good English and dont struggle to be managers where they will be expected to be giving presentation all the time but develop themselves better in the technical part of their job which even though the boss understand their language deficiency, still cannot do without they technical ability.

chamber2:
Ok na. lets abolish grading in our school system and see if the system will improve.

u no dey even get the gist!

ABEG NA ALL WEY U KNOW WEY GET 1ST CLASS AND 2. 2 FIT COMMUNICATE IN ENGLISH?

That shud tell u wat my point is.

No need sef cos all coy do their own assesment cos dey dont trust most schools and the degrees

pinkrex:
The issue is this. I can study hard for five years in the university and pass all my exams for a 2.1 without mixing it with the real world,

Those kinda people live in the book world and not the real world, they is no balance for it.

pinkrex:
Mtcheeewwww!!! The reality will never be faced because of sentiments.

How can a graduate of English or Mass comm go for NNPC test and pass? Let them tell us the calibers of graduates invited for the test.

And most importantly these or graduates of 2.1 and 2.2 this days only knows what the text book says and not the world or job market requires today.
When you train people to be theorists then dont expect them to be mechanics.


I know of a gut that got a first class from redeemers uni. but no pings he doesnt reply to at any time of the day. He can speak all the posh grammar on planet earth but doesn't know the current state of Nigerian economy

BROS I TIRE O!! SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST BEING SENTIMENTAL. I HAVE ONCE INTERVIEWED AN ENGR GRADUATE OF 1ST CLASS. GUESS WHAT HE WASNT TAKEN. HE WAS GOOD BUT CUDNT COMPOSE COMMON ENGLISH. SAME LANGUAGE IN WHICH HE GOT HIS ACADEMIC MERIT.

SEE IF YOU INTERACT WITH GRADUATES YOU GO BOW. ABEG MAKE WE LEAVE MATTER. MANY PASS TEST AND EVEN FAIL WOEFULLY IN INTERVIEW COS OF GRAMMAR AND TACTICS

2good:
@ Da Doctor,
Do you think getting 1500 in GRE to get an admit into Stanford and Princeton does not require your have a sound aptitude test skill, or getting recruited by Chevron or Total does not require good aptitude test skills? Try to understand reality before you make comments. I still stand by my word that people like you that focus so much on castigating first class are those that couldn't make first class and looking for the slightest excuse to say they are not good

Dont misuderstand my quote bros dem!!

i am in the field and i know much to a large extent.

I sure know passing the above is hard. i too passed them at some point in my pursuit. MY POINT ALSO LIES IN THE FACT THAT NOT ALL CAN BE SHARP. MOREOVER IT VARIES FROM SCHOOL TO SCHOOL NOT ALL SCHOOLS HAVE CREDIBILITY. GO IN AND SEE THAT MOST COURSES IN A FEW UNIO ARENT EVEN ACCREDITATED

chamber2:
I wonder what they call apt test. Is it not the same Gmat and GRE that people pass to get into top schools? Maybe that of NNPC was something else.

Princek12:
Dyt, I dislike liars and cheaters, and I have no respect for them. Plagiarizing is cheating, and until our society condemns such behavior, we will never move forward.

To take someone's idea and expressions and represent it as your own, especially on a public forum like NL, is not only cheating the person whose expression was stolen but also deceiving the people on this thread.

OH!! I GUESS YOU ARE JUST MEETING SEX SKILLS?

PLEASE IGNORE HIM. HE IS BECOMING BORING BY THE DAY!


AND U DYT? I LEAVE U FOR NOW

I am not in discordance with your point oh! you made a valid point

But go back and read d bolded. The best of the best are classroom materials/acada materials and that doesnt meant they may pass APTITUDE TEST.

I say this cos of experience! Most schools are good though and their graduates cool in the labour market. That again is another factor.

But clearly! APTITUDE TEST IS A DIFFERENT BALL GAME NOT CRAM AND DUMP OF MOST OF OUR FIRST CLASS.

Read my previous psot and see that there are some 1st class that have it all too.

2good:
I strongly disagree with the allegation put forward by the GMD of NNPC. Nigerians might not be exposed to generally cope with some soft skills expected of them in the global cooperate environment but as far as aptitude test is concern globally, we have some of the very best test taker in Nigeria because in Europe and America, you don't need to write any test to be employed most times and when it is needed, these guys fail alot from personal experience with some of them. Nigerians might have problem with interview that has alot to do with self confidence and how well you can converse in good English, which is lacking in many first class and 2-1 because majority of people in these class are poor/average under privileged people that struggle to work their way up the ladder and still find it difficult to erase their disadvantaged past but when exposed and given the right environment, they will excel.
I didn't not make a first class but hate it when people that were unfortunate not to have made first-class or 2-1 come out publicly, saying trash which to me is obviously out of jealousy about the intellectual capacity of all first class and 2-1. The 5 first class guys in my graduating Unilag class have the following current status:
[b]1. Currently a PhD holder from Stanford university USA
2. Currently a PhD holder Princeton University USA
3. MSc Cambridge University, PhD Manchester University current with Total
4. MSc University of Texas, Currently with Schlumberger USA
5. Currently with Chevron Nigeria.[/b]These are the 5 first class graduates I had in my graduating class so people should shut the bleep up and stop saying bad things about first class because they couldn't achieve what this guys did. That is why the African continent doesn't progress as we always want to pull people better than us down,
